Hello,
I'm wondering if SONY is indeed applying the warranty service they are offering, or just expect to us to pay as much as they can get from us.
Here are the facts :
I've sent my phone Sony XPeria Z1 Compact to SONY service because : my battery was empty in about 15 minutes the start/stop button was not working properly. My phone was within the two years warranty but Sony is sending an invoice for €76.94 explaining that my issues were not managed through the warranty. Then, I call Sony's support who's explaining me that the phone will not be managed through the warranty because the IMEI tag was missing, I explain them that I do not understand as the tag was there when I've sent the phone, then they ask me the wait online a little bit, and, 2 minutes later, they are telling me that a part of the phone is missing. this specific piece is the washer on the start/stop button, which is a superficial part and that unglued itself because of the wear of the time. After telling that to them, I asked how I could reject the invoice in order to have my phone managed for free under the warranty contract. They tell me that I should send a letter to Sony's French Customer Service (Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications - 49 quai De Dion Bouton, 92800 PUTEAUX). The thing is that it's SONY who's answering me whereas the phone is at their contractor SBE Online, who's trying to get all the money they can and not respect the contracts. They tend to find any excuse to make me pay which is unacceptable.
I've send a letter to SONY's Customer Service saying that I could not understand why the warranty could not manage the poor quality of their materia and their phone's defects, I've called this service several times, sent a few mails,and they are always saying that I should wait the answer from the Customer Service, and they are only answering that I should wait.
I've been waiting why to long, they are having a laugh and they really do not care about their customers.

I have been waiting for more than 2 months, I want my phone to be repaired for free (They should respect their warranty contract), and they don't want to answer me.
This is ridiculous.
